Proverbs 12:26-28

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁶ The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
²⁷ A ^[a]lazy man does not ^[b]roast his prey,
But the ^(A)precious possession of a man is diligence.
^28 (B)In the way of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
